As you've probably seen or heard (thanks for all the attention guys!) we've had a fire. It's a sad day for all lovers of cheap pizzas, cold beer and good times.

The boring details; the fire was caused by faulty office equipment and is in no way suspicious. Thankfully, no staff or patrons were on site when the fire broke out. The extent of damage is still being assessed.

On the bright side, Bimbos will BRB with a less charred fit in the next few months. We'll be coming back with a bang, so keep your eyes on the society pages for our big reveal.
